As gerrybowes, but no cows, on return walked through forest tracks | matty1971b | 16/03/2024 |
Parked north of start of ROW, took to field up faint path to tree at summit and along fence a bit to top | grumpy | 15/01/2024 |
From unsigned parking area to WNW at SE 4978 8058 (same as for Hood Hill) along road for about 600m to start of RoW - Over stile & along RoW to area between two small lakes (inquisitive young bullocks, one of which was a bit too frisky) - Turned right, under bwf, S. along fence line & under another bwf - Turned right along edge of field & this takes you to within about 20m of summit; arable crop. | gerrybowes | 03/05/2023 |
Along the Prow and then through wood on animal tracks. Return down field to gate by PROW at road. Was also going to inspect Kilburn hill but a shoot was in progress. | cjo | 21/01/2023 |
2 of 5 on 12 mile hike starting at white horse car park. Approached from carr lane across stony track. Hopped over barb wire fence near top | The-Z-Man | 27/12/2021 |

Plum view of the white horse but forgot the camera. | Wycombe Wanderer | 05/06/2021 |
Parking on the roadside immediately before the footpath from the west leaves the road. At the first fence continue along the indeterminate path keeping to it as it loops upwards. If you follow it to the top it enters the summit field unhindered. If not, come back this way. | moorsman | 14/04/2021 |
Loop from Acre House, to the superb hood hill then south down easy ground to less good Ward Oak Hill and a sunken FP back to Acre | nordicstar | 03/05/2018 |
Snowy domed hill approached from North on muddy track. Nice views and bright skies | Denise | 02/12/2017 |
From Killburn via muddy farm track, foot path then fence line. Levellish summit field recently ploughed / tilled with 5cm covering of wet snow. | RichardM | 02/12/2017 |
With Dusty... easy and ploughed field with new crop just sprouting. | vegibagger | 26/11/2017 |
With vegiebagger | Dusty | 26/11/2017 |
From Kilburn. Up bw then SW alongside fences before across grass to summit | Moorponder | 15/08/2017 |
The ROW unusable because of mud. So perfect excuse to stay in field to gate just past the summit. | Martin R | 01/03/2017 |
7 Tump circular walk from Kilburn with Darren. A strange digital mapping confusion on this summit where the contours on Darren's smartphone map changed from 10m to 5m intervals (which made the S top look higher on map, which we visited as well but it its not higher) The intervening 5m contours disappeared on Darren's screen as they progressed northwards. | Chris Pearson | 26/07/2016 |
from White Horse bank car park, with Kilburn Hill, Hood Hill, Oak Hill & Thicket Hill | joseph mitchell | 13/10/2015 |
Public f/p sign to SW. Parking spot about 100m to W opposite a gate. Summit a rounded top of a freshly turned field on N side of fence. Alternative high point about 150m to SE was lower according to GPS. | Aye Jimmy | 07/10/2014 |
